Add a Slack reaction from a Baserow record
Keep a linked Slack conversation in sync with a Baserow update by starting a webhook workflow and applying the reaction you specify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
A record update can require a visible acknowledgement in Slack, leaving you to locate the conversation and react by hand.
- Acknowledge a referenced Slack message with one triggered workflow.
- Use the channel and timestamp already supplied by the record.
- Reduce manual searching between Baserow and Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to read the referenced Baserow record and add the specified reaction to its linked Slack message.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing a record reference to a Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the webhook provide?
Provide a way to locate the Baserow record. The record or request must also include the Slack channel and message timestamp.
Can it react to any message in a channel?
It needs a specific message reference. A channel name alone does not identify the message to react to.
